The German magazine "Das Brot Magazin" of the Germany baker guild calls it the “Louvre of the breads”. Although the Bread-Museum in the Danube city Ulm with 1150 square meters is 52-times smaller than the Louvre in Paris, the topic with which it is dealing is much more important. It deals with the most important basic foodstuff in history – the bread. The different facets hunger, craft, technology, politics, arts and culture show the diversity of the subject.
„In Lohn und Brot stehen“ is a German saying and means that one has a steady job and earns a living. In this saying the bread as the most important food represents all the things that can be bought with the loan. But there are also many other sayings around the theme of bread which demonstrate the crucial role of the loaf in our society. And exactly for this reason the “Museum für Brotkultur” (Museum of Bread culture) in Ulm deals with this topic.
No matter if you want to discover the museum by yourself or if you want to participate in one of the interesting guided tours – the “Museums für Brotkultur” in Ulm offers a lot of interesting aspects about the bread. Which cultural meaning had the bread for the early civilizations of mediterranean region? Or which meaning has it in the Jewish and Christian faith? How critical is the situation of the world nutrition and how worthy is food? Extensive collections and special exhibitions in the “Museum der Brotkultur” give answers to all this questions.
